6 Pack of High Road Craft Ice Cream & Sorbet

Friday, December 23, 2011

OK, so I went a little nuts yesterday at Whole Foods and grabbed all 6 flavors of High Road Craft Ice Cream & Sorbet offered in the freezer case. I have been meaning to sample the creamy dreamy goodness from this small Atlanta based company for a while now, and it is the holidays, right? The list includes (starting at the top of the pyramid pictured above):

Vanilla Fleur de Sel

Bourbon Burnt Sugar

Caffeine & Cacao

Aztec Chocolate & Caramel

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel

Brown Butter Praline

My favorite of the 6 is the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel, but full disclosure, I love anything with a Chocolate Peanut Butter combination. The neat thing about this flavor is that local restaurant chef/owner Ron Eyester of Rosebud asked the owners of High Road to perfect this ice cream flavor using the 3 featured ingredients. High Road happily obliged and even put Chef Eyester's picture on the side of the container.

Highlights from the remaining 5... love pairing ingredients from Cacao Atlanta (a local boutique chocolatier here in town) in Caffeine & Cacao. If you like a little bit spice & heat, the Aztec Chocolate & Caramel is right up your alley with hits of cinnamon & chiles. The Bourbon Burnt Sugar & the Brown Butter Praline are really rich and unexpected, but both nail such traditional Southern flavors. The Vanilla Fleur de Sel is not an intense salty flavor, just a nice subtle laying to the creamy Vanilla.
